Turning Tide of History #19: Birthing a Brave New World
Hello everyone!
Last week I received the following letter from long-time ERN subscriber Joyce Kovelman:
Dear Jean
Your tireless devotion to truth, human rights and factual information is extraordinary. Thank you for your loving service to all of humanity. It is important to know what is occurring, as well as to envision more positive solutions and responses to our present world predicaments. So thank you for also helping us not to fall into despair and hopelessness, but rather to create a more positive, loving and sustainable world. We need to work as a community of light to birth the new.
... To which I replied (in part)
Dear Joyce
I very much appreciate your supportive comment for my work and have included it in my next compilation. (...) BTW Joyce, I'd like to put you to task by asking you to elaborate on how we may actually "work as a community of light to birth the new"... I feel you'd certainly have much more to say on this and trust that, if you are so inspired, you'll propose me something of high spiritual value for inclusion either in my next Meditation Focus (if I receive it before Saturday evening) or in a coming compilation.
... And here is the highly inspirational piece I received from her on August 29.
Birthing a Brave New World
Joyce A. Kovelman
This we know: Humanity stands at the precipice. We must quickly decide whether we will continue to desecrate and destroy our planet, or whether we will make the needed changes and sacrifices that allow all of earthly existence to survive and thrive. We are asked to consciously co-create a new reality in which to fulfill our greater, more noble destinies. Indeed it is the very reason that each of us is presently living upon Earth.
This we know: We are summoned, and how we respond is critical. Do we step up to the plate and begin to make the necessary changes, or do we continue to complain, turn away, and wait for others to change?
This we know: We already recognize where change is needed. We already know what each of us must do to become the change we wish to see in our world. We know that there are needy, sick, poor and homeless; and that every one of us makes a difference. And we all realize that we have come to Earth for just such a moment as this.
We may not fully know how to change, we may not fully know what to do, or even if we can succeed. But begin we must! Humankind will surely perish if we do not try.
This we know: Each world begins with You and Me. All of us are Beings of Energy and Light. We are invited to participate in the most sacred task of creating a new world. We already know that all change and creation begins within. So please take a moment or two, or three or more …. Please enter into the silence and stillness at the very core of your being, and please begin the inner process of creating a sustainable and caring world.
Deep within my heart and soul, there is an absolute certainty that We can create the world we want to dwell within; We can evolve; and We can become a loving, compassionate, sustainable and harmonious humanity. We can make it happen, if we but dare to dream and envision once again. It has always been so.
This we know: A dedicated community of vision and light can bring forth a life sustaining and life affirming humanity. I invite you to become the change you wish to see in your world, to be the action you seek, the inspiration you need, and the love you wish to share. Let us join together in the wonder of conscious co-creation and joy. Let us begin!
All who wish to respond to Spirit’s Soulful call to help birth a new world – please contact me at ASOUL1@aol.com. Now is the moment to begin. Please join and make it so.
... So as you can imagine, I feel that this wonderfully inspired call deserves our full support and I encourage you all to contact Joyce (with a Cc to me if you'd like to keep me informed of your commitment and reactions to this). Also if you'd like to find out more about her, check her website at http://www.essentialsforasoul.com/ (Check also the ADDENDUM below)
Meanwhile, I have another powerful compilation below for your consideration.
May Peace, Love and Harmony prevail on Earth
Jean Hudon
Earth Rainbow Network Coordinator
NOTE: There has been an important development in May 2007 regarding Joyce's initiative which you may review in this Action Focus #1
ADDENDUM: In my reply to Joyce I asked her the following:
I'm curious also to know what you intend to do with or offer to the people who will reply to you on this. Consider this as your first such reply. What can you tell me if I ask you "What now?"
And she replied:
"I see my article as a Call to Action - and as yours is my first response - I feel we can each do something daily or weekly, big or small - it adds up. We each know within what we can do and it is not helpful for me to explicitly tell other Light Workers how to proceed. What I feel is unfolding is the need for change through action - not just ideas and words (of course, with integrity) and we need to begin. So my Herald's call is to start a supporting circle of those who will begin to not only make the inner changes, but also start to act change and transformation out in the world. I am open to what will unfold with "A committed, dedicated Community of Light Workers who will respond in the Now." The Light Workers are ready, and all they need is a spark to light the way!"
VERY interesting don't you feel... Now it's up to each one of you to add your unique contribution to this emerging "New Ball Game". Let us initiate a global campaign towards collectively coalescing the New Earth! The Countdown has begun...
NOTE from Jean: I case you would miss it in this large compilation below, here is a comment I was moved to write after reading the article by Israeli peace group Gush Shalom's founder Uri Avnery (see "America's Rottweiler" below):
"Now imagine Israelis being loved by their neighbors because of the good they do - if they were to let go of their current circle-the-wagons warmongering mindset - to all people living around their country, bringing food, economic help, humanitarian succor instead of bombs and mayhem... This is the vision I hold for the future of this reborn country, a future of peaceful love-breeding cooperation with all and meaningful atonement for the sinful deeds of the current generation. So is also the vision I hold for this entire living planet and all her inhabitants - soon to be living in harmony, loving each other as brothers and sister of the wonderfully diverse and rich human family, sustaining a brightly evolving world well into the far future and showing the entire universe that a place that looked like hell can become a heavenly paradise for the evolution of all souls. If it can be imagined... it can be achieved.
The seeds of this visionary future is growing right now in the hearts of all sentient loving beings called humans, earthlings in search of Who They Are, awakening from the nightmare of love-deprivation and fear-domination. One for all... All for One... No soul left behind...
All growing in glorious harmony/living/breathing/sharing/shining/BEING Love for one's Universal Self and thus for all... because All IS One..."
